Seller Comments
1987 Volkswagen Golf GTI MK2 16V — Euro-Spec
The exterior was restored previously and still presents well overall, including professionally fabricated steel widened fenders. A set of 17-inch BBS alloy wheels gives the car a wider and more aggressive stance.
Inside, the original interior remains in excellent overall condition, retaining its factory Recaro sport seats and fully functioning factory air conditioning. All gauges, switches, and controls operate as they should.
Powered by its original 1.8L DOHC 16-valve engine, paired with a manual transmission and short-shift gear lever, the engine was professionally rebuilt and overhauled approximately eight years ago and continues to run strong.
The car has recently undergone comprehensive major mechanical servicing, with significant investment using genuine OEM parts.
The engine is clean, mechanically sound, highly responsive, and an absolute pleasure to drive.
A well-maintained European-specification MK2 GTI that is ready to be enjoyed.
